Yeah, I hope Toyota continues to make a hybrid Camry. Kinda kicking myself for not going that route when I bought my car 2.5 years ago, but something to keep in mind for next time.

There are plenty more PHEVs on the market, but from what I can see only the RAV4 Prime, Prius Prime, a Volvo, and a couple Land Rovers of all things currently offer an electric-only range over 40 miles. Most seem to currently be around 30 miles or less of pure EV range. Bump that up to like 60 miles, and that would be enough to cover the average daily use for the vast majority of drivers even if they are blasting the A/C in the summer or the heat in winter. For me, I'd need to put Sta-Bil in the gas tank because I'd probably only fill up maybe twice per year.

Mrs Tif had a hybrid Camry for a company car around 10 years ago, and it was excellent.

Saw a Prius Prime on the road on Tuesday, and it's probably the first model of that line that I didn't immediately think 'that thing is ugly as ****'. Definitely a huge step in the right direction.

It has kinda been lost in the noise that in the same book in which she confessed to/bragged about doggo murder she also claimed to have personally met KJU several years before he ever known to have left North Korea as Dear Leader. Maybe she meant she hypothetically met with Kim Jong-un.

I had heard she yanked the KJU stuff from the book after that got out and it never actually made it to press with that in there. Maybe I misheard...

They can revise e-book and audiobook files (which she read herself, btw) on the fly, but physical first press editions are already on shelves. So the edits there will only track if the hardcover is reprinted, or when it goes to paperback.

My car keeps track of the fuel age and will toss in some ICE cycles every few weeks to ensure the fuel is getting depleted before it goes bad.

Prius Prime is probably my next car....not gonna lie.

Or if the Honda Prelude is sweet, it may be that instead.

I completely forgot about the Prelude. Have they confirmed that it’s coming to the US?

Global release in 2025 or 26. But the Prologue is available now.

The Prologue isn’t bad at all, and I surprisingly like that aquamarine color they have.

Prologue is a rebadged Chevy Blazer fwiw.

The strangest example of this is when VW had a minivan that was Chrysler minivan with a new front and rear end. Why?

Rudy can't help himself:
Rudolph W. Giuliani was suspended by WABC radio on Friday and his daily talk show was canceled after he violated station policy by trying to discuss discredited claims about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election on air.

John Catsimatidis, the billionaire who is a major Republican donor and owns the station, said he had made the decision after Mr. Giuliani refused to comply with the policy related to the election after repeated warnings.

I have a hard time coming up with a public figure who has done more to destroy his own reputation than Rudy Giuliani, or one who has fallen farther thereby.
